Subject: HELLO
My name is Ali Waheed, A Bahrain national I have been diagnosed with
Oesophageal
cancer .It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have
only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not
particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not
even myself)but my business.
Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people
and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But
now I regret all
this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have
or make all the money in the world. I believe when God gives me a second
chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from
how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and
given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family
members as well as a few close friends .I want God to be merciful to me
and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity
organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on
earth. So far, I have Distributed money to some charity organizations in
the U.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so
badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. I once asked members of my
family to close one of my accounts and distribute the money which I have
there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan, they refused
and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore,
as they seem not to be contended with what I have leftfor them. The last
of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of Eighteen
Million dollars($18,000,000,00) that I have with a finance House abroad.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and despatch it to
charity organizations.
N/B:KINDLY NOTE THAT 20% of this funds must go
to the tsunami victims and another 10% for your effort and time.
Thanks
for your efforts.
Regards,
Ali Waheed.
